Merry Meet @eliza78! I love 
the enthusiasm, I can feel it in your words. 
I’m Siofra from Cape Cod. I have never been to Chicago so the majority of what I know comes from Chicago Fire & Chicago PD… yes, the TV shows. 
I would love to visit though! I adore going to different cities to see the differences in each place & how they are put together in each area. The way it’s so different in different parts of the small little world I have seen.
Anyway, enough rambling… I came back to my path in July of 2020 & by the end of that month had joined Spells8 & the forum. I have learned so much & still do from everyone here! They are all so nice & helpful & supportive 
I think you are going to love it here just as much as we do! 
There is a Weekly Challenge that is going on right now, these are very good chances to learn & explore new aspects of your craft to make it your own. I’m a fan of learning & trying things to see what works for me & what doesn’t. 
Feel free to join or kind of watch how others go through the challenge & join the next one if you would like! 
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Flower Power
